The mother of missing Suffolk serviceman Corrie McKeague has reached out on social media for help to find her son.

Nicola Urquhart filmed a question and answer session on Facebook which has been watched by more than 39,000 people.

Her son has been missing for over three months since disappearing after a night out in Bury St Edmunds.

She told Facebook that Corrie was "not so much a social butterfly more of a social hand grenade" who liked attention.

Mrs Urquhart said Corrie was so full of life and the life and soul of every party.

Mrs Urquhart said three men had set fire to a vehicle not far from the site the next day which she says is highly suspicious and urges anyone with information to come forward.

During the interview session Nicola Urquhart revealed that her son's bank account has not been touched since he went missing and that his RAF salary was still being paid into it.

She also said she had access to his social media accounts and that these had also not be altered.

Mrs Urquhart was asked if she thought anyone was involved from the venues that Corrie visited on the night out in Bury.

She said he was in three pubs on the night he disappeared and that there was no evidence that he was causing a problem or upsetting anyone.

The question of Corrie McKeague's sexuality was raised during the online question and answer session.

Mrs Urquhart said that if Corrie had been gay he would be the "most fabulously proud gay man walking - he would be telling everyone."
